Trump: Reporter Wasn't Hurt Because She Didn't Scream, Possibly Faked Bruises
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/29/2016 5:25 pm
In a press conference today, Donald Trump defended his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who was charged with battery today for manhandling journalist Michelle Fields at a campaign event. While the GOP frontrunners campaign initially denied that the incident ever occurred, a video corroborated the reporters account of the events. Trump continued to dismiss the charges leveled against Lewandowski while maligning Fields. I looked at the tape, theres not even a change of expression on her face, Trump said. Then I looked at Internet, and you take a look at the tweets, and people are saying, Youve got to be kidding me. When asked about the bruises on Fields arm, Trump said that they couldve been there before as she would have yelled out a scream or something if she was actually hurt. I dont know if there were bruises from that, who says there were bruises from that? he continued. How do you know those bruises werent there before? I dont know what the police said. How do you know those bruises werent there before? Im not a lawyer, but she said she had a bruise on her arm. To me, if youre going to get squeezed, wouldnt you think that she wouldve yelled out a scream or something if she has bruises on her arm? You say bruises on her arm, how did they get there? Who put them there? I dont know that he put them there, he added.

If someone forcefully grabs my arm hard enough to bruise, I'm not going to be screaming or yelling in pain. I'm gonna be yelling for the asshole to let go. That doesn't mean everyone would react the same way.
